Comfortable beds with good lockers but the bathrooms are terrible - nowhere to put your stuff, and Dirty! The atmosphere is not good. No one says hello
To each other an keep to themselves. Cozumel as a whole was a waste of time and money.

Their tag line is affordable and clean and fair enough, they try to keep the place clean but the shower didn't flow so well, so it didn't always feel wonderfully clean around rush hour...
The staff isn't particularly warm and enthusiastic but they are actually very helpful. They kept my luggage as long as I needed, helped me find a...

We got the confirmation from Booking where it was said that someone from Hostelito would contact us regarding paymant during following days....

good place for backpackers; rooms are neat but the building itself is rather old and would need some refurbishing. nice area for socializing: open kitchen, fridge, hammocks, sofas etc. staff is friendly and helpful. good spot to meet some people on the way.

Let me start of by saying this hostel is clean and decorated really beautifully. There is a full kitchen with plenty of supplies, a roof top patio with hammocks and lounge beds. The dorms are a little large and I wish they had a stricter after eleven quiet policy and lights out in the dorm. But the pros out weigh...

We showed up with a large group of 8 travelers unannounced and they were able to get us in. We choose the dorm area which was very large. The beds were nice and the bathrooms were well kept. There was a ladies and mens shower area with 3 showers in each. The place was very well kept and clean. There...

Well located budget accommodation and a friendly manager. We stayed in the main dorm which was very clean and had good beds. Breakfast is not included but there is a basic kitchen. The ladies showers need some work.

Cozumel is one of my favorite places in the world- partially because of staying at Hostelito. When I am there I stay in the dorms. I Love the people that work there and it feels like family when I pass through. The dorm room is large and kept very clean. The lockers are large enough for all my things (I...

I only stayed at Hostelito for one night but that was more than enough for me. The dorm has a huge number of beds in but tiny bathroom facilities right at the very bottom. When I went in there was a massive dead cockroach on the floor of the ladies facilities and the light kept flickering, not making me feel...

From the last time we stayed there a little over a year ago, their prices doubled. I asked them about it and they said it is just the taxes. No way. We stayed in a private room which yes was great. HUGE, balcony, AC, small kitchen but really we didnt need that so we didnt appreciate it to its fullest...
